Therefore, feel free to personalize your chandelier however you like.

How to make a DIY floral chandelier:

Step 1: Assemble the base

Let’s begin by constructing our chandelier’s base. On the table, arrange your two driftwood pieces parallel to one another. After that, sandwich them with floral foam.

Attach the floral foam to the driftwood with strong twine or rope. To keep the driftwood tight, tie many bows throughout its length. Ensure the knots are positioned in the middle of the flower foam once you’ve tied them all. Next, cut off any extra rope with your scissors.

Step 2: Attach ropes

Attach ropes to your base at both ends. This will enable you to suspend your chandelier from the ceiling at your wedding or any other location where you intend to exhibit it.

For extra security, use a strong rope and tighten the knots firmly. Next, while working on it, locate a temporary location to hang the chandelier. This can help you see how it will appear at your location more clearly.

Step 3: Prepare the greenery

After finishing the chandelier’s foundation, let’s prepare our foliage.

Cut your leaves into single branches of varying lengths after removing them from their boxes. To make assembly easier, arrange your branches into stacks.

To give the finished chandelier a more organic appearance, attempt to vary the lengths of each cut.

Step 4: Add the leaves

Let’s begin decorating the chandelier with foliage now. Start by randomly introducing three to four of each cut branch into the floral foam. Start at one end of the chandelier and work up to the top half, which should be covered in beautiful foliage.

On the bottom, repeat the same procedure, carefully changing the height and length of the vegetation.

Advice: If the greenery on one side of the chandelier is higher than the other, that’s okay. We’ll counterbalance it with flowers.

Step 5: Add flowers

Our favourite part is using flowers to give the chandelier life and colour. As with the branches, take your flowers out of their box and place them in the flowery mud. You may change the height of the blooms by using their flexible wire stems.

Please try to use larger blooms as focal areas and encircle them with smaller, varicoloured flowers. When you find an arrangement you like, please don’t hesitate to take out the flowers and put them back in. This is your time to express yourself, so follow your gut and use your design sense.

As a tip, make three distinct parts out of the upper half of your chandelier, one for each flower box. Next, place the remaining flower box on the chandelier’s lowest portion.

Step 6: All finished!

Well done! You have completed your one-of-a-kind flowery chandelier. Hanging it up at your wedding location is the only thing left to do.
